The guy who rats out other message boards?
I'm so, so sorry. Couldn't resist the opportunity to call on my notebook. I hope we're cool.

It's Be a Pro. Playing as just my guy. Usually I'm winning. On pace for 50 goals in 50 games in my 4th season. Just signed Colorado.
I was drafted by the Canucks and played for them the first 3 years. Squeaked in to the playoffs in my rookie year but bounced out in the first round. Me and a few key players were injured for significant periods in year 2 and we missed the playoffs. In year 3 I won trophies in several major categories and put up 143 points and we had the best record in the league. Won MVP but lost I Richard award to Tarasenko. We both had 57 goals but I played a few less games but they gave it to him for some reason which I was pissed about. Highest scoring team in the league with a little over 300 goals. Cruised through the playoffs and won each round within 6 games at most. In game one of the Stanley cup against Montreal I had a hat trick by mid game and we were up 3-0 before second intermission. One of my teammates clobbered a guy, I went to gather the puck and flipped over him and got injured for 24 days and missed the rest of the finals. Wound up losing that game 4-3 and lost the cup in 6. Out starting goalie was out since round one as well which didn't help.
Rookie contract was up and I signed for 2 years with Colorado. On first line with McKinnon and Landeskog and we are lighting up the league. Sitting at 12-5-2 and I have 21 goals on route to a historic season.

I don't want anything except for people to treat Rok as they would if they were sitting at a bar with him. I have no angle here, just trying to help the guy.

We're good. We all have to learn in our own ways/time.
Im a power forward left winger that shoots right. 6'4'' 230 pounds and built up my shot power. I'm deadly when I can get in to the high slot and I'm the main fighter on my teams so I check and beat up everyone. I get injured quite often because of it. Usually a hand injury from slamming it in to the other teams star players face. Except when I flipped over the guy from Montreal and got a back injury.

I try to treat everyone as though I was sitting across from him/her. I think that should apply to everyone here.

Was that way here in Illinois forever. Finally changed a handful of years ago. I still remember a Sunday where we had Bears tickets, noon game, and the night before got out of hand and we depleted the tailgate booze supply. Countless people that weren't coming with us to the game were woken up at 7:30 that morning with us asking for what they had at home that we could buy off of them

I try to do the same. But if I'm sitting in a bar and someone acts like an ahole, I don't just sit and take it. Being on a message board works much like society. If you don't act appropriately, you should expect to society to self correct by calling you out. Some people think they can hide behind a keyboard without repercussion for comments or posts. If a person stood up in a bar and said they were contemplating suicide, I would expect the bartender to call the police. Those that do it in an online forum, do so without concern for society being able to act .
You can't have it both ways.

ok. i don't know the guy. if we are sitting in a bar and he starts asking for advice/opinions about the things hes doing. id tell him. then if he started arguing that there was nothing wrong with what hes doing. id get pissed and wonder why hes asking for feedback if he has all the answers.
at times he acts like an alien or something that is new to our world and doesn't get it. other times he acts like an expert about most things.
if my buddies were getting drunk by themselves on the reg at all hours and were involved with a much younger single mom with a very young son, id say the same to them. with this guy you cant be direct with your advice or he ignores it.

(even with low Human values I get called for around 1 penalty per game even placing conservatively because of my physical style. If you play a finesse player you may be able to bump these up a bit more but over time you will still lose Discipline player rating quickly. The lower your Discipline the more likely you are to get called and it snowballs from there. It's really a no win situation in Be a Pro)

if anyone that plays NHL 17 Be a Pro tries these out I would love to hear your feedback. I worked on them for months and they are very balanced. Teams usually average 30-35 shots a game. Usually a total of around 50 faceoffs per game. Teams usually get 3-5 PP per game.
NHL 18 is coming out very soon but knowing EA these should still work fine as is on the next game or at least a good base setting to adjust to your liking.

doesn't matter cuz it's all schtick from him anyways. rok has this thread at 32 pages after a few weeks. Hes getting the attention he craves and when interest starts to decrease he rolls out a new angle. im in love with a single mom ive never met! the single mom and i had sex on our 1st date! have to give him props, he keeps peeps clicking in here.
jamny

I have to agree. I think he supplies a lot of real info but I think the whole single mom story was BS.

People can choose to either just ignore the thread or be remotely civil. People complained that Rok started too many threads, so now everything is contained here. I guess I just don't understand the need for some people (not speaking about you directly) to show up and just rip on every post he makes. There's tough love, there's ball-breaking, and then there's genuine mordancy. It's not that difficult (for me at least) to tell the difference. It's that last bit I just don't understand. What is gained from it? Are there people that are addicted to schadenfreude? Are there posters whose lives are so miserable that trying to make someone else feel inferior somehow makes them feel better? I just truly don't get it.

Why would it have to be BS? He didn't even provide any real salacious details
A single mom who was willing to have her kid meet a guy on a first date also happens to put out on the first date? I believed it.

If it turned out that Rok is an 80 year old man in Zimbabwe just making all this up for attention, I'd be fine with it. I've made my intentions clear from the start.

Whether it's true or schtick is ultimately irrelevant. I think there are a lot of people that aren't seeing the big picture.Why would it have to be BS? He didn't even provide any real salacious details

His posting history suggests that he would have commented differently. It never happened, imo.Why would it have to be BS? He didn't even provide any real salacious details

I didn't realize I was obligated to. Just imagine I quoted your post instead of KCitons'. Everything I said basically applies.
She was satisfied too.
It wasn't honeymoon sex. It was hot sweaty monkey sex. Just like she wanted too.

I have neither the time nor inclination to spell it all out. If you take the time to think about the possibility that Rok is all shtick as well as the possibility that everything he says is 100% true, and then consider what both the upside and the downside to my approach is in both cases, it should be clear. Think about the impact on him, me, everyone else posting here, this board in general.
KCitons
Footballguy
I had to look up mordancy.
I've given Rok a plethora of advice. But, it appears to me that he isn't looking for advice, he's looking for someone to agree with his point of view. Mordancy begets mordancy. As someone that's lost a brother in law, a good friend, and nearly my sister to suicide, I don't find it amusing that he uses it as a tool to get attention. At first, I took him serious, but I've come to the conclusion that he isn't looking for help. He enjoys the schtick. So, I give it back.

You can't drink all day if you don't start in the morning.
For God's sake they make Breakfast stouts
I mentioned it once in passing because I was feeling that way when I was unemployed. I'm pretty happy now. I don't know why you focus on this and if you don't believe anything I say you don't have to participate in this thread.
You also don't have a monopoly on being effected by suicide so you don't dictate what people can and cannot talk about. The issue isn't me and what may or may not be shtick. I have restricted myself to one thread. The issue here is self righteousness on the part of several posters.
This is exactly the same as someone supposedly hating a TV show but watching it anyway. If some people just enjoy reading this thread just to get upset with me then I'm not getting what I want, they are getting what they want and should probably be thanking me.
It's the continental way! In Germany, France and Spain they wouldn't dream of starting the day without acouple of beers and perhaps a vodka. There's no need for this US puritan outlook. Europeans wouldn't bat an eye at drinking all day and having unprotected sex.

this guy is hardly the first poster to get a rough go on these boards. so why do u chose to champion him? u soft pedal advice to him.
You- drinking alone in the a.m. can be sign of a problem
Rok- its nothing, im good
You - good enough for me. carry on.
KCitons

Simple question. Why did you say it? Was it to get people to understand you were unhappy? Or was it because you were really thinking about doing it?
